UN chief promises to take up Kashmir with Modi
Foreign Minister Shah Mahmood Qureshi said the UN chief had listened to him patiently and reiterated that he was always willing to play his role for the resolution of the Kashmir issue but India did not look forward to it.
Guterres also told the minister that the UN is closely monitoring the alarming situation in the IOK and would continue playing its role in the matter.
FM Qureshi said he had brought India’s use of cluster munitions along the Line of Control (LoC) to notice of the UN secretary-general and also informed him about Prime Minister Imran Khan’s concerns over the possibility of New Delhi staging a false-flag operation in the occupied valley.
